About this listen
This week on That Rugby Union Show, former Springbok lock Flip van der Merwe joins us for a straight-talking, no-frills chat about life in and out of rugby.
From a late break into pro rugby and winning Super Rugby with the Bulls to his move to France and now running a rugby club, Flip shares the moments that shaped him.
We cover:
🇫🇷 French Rugby’s Rise – why France is setting the global standard.
🏉 Inside the Bok Camp – stories from the Peter de Villiers and Heyneke Meyer eras.
💼 Life After Rugby – Flip’s shift from bruising lock to businessman and rugby administrator.
🏟️ Curry Cup & SA Rugby – can domestic rugby rediscover its heartbeat?
🔮 Next-Gen Boks – who’s ready to step up ahead of the Rugby Championship.
We also dig into Rassie Erasmus’ current Bok setup, why French rugby is booming financially, and whether Flip’s future might bring him back to lead South African rugby from the front office.
